Just as the Sikong Mansion was exerting its strength, a group of people also gathered in the neighboring Situ Mansion.
"Cao Mengde was in the position of one of the three princes, but he behaved like a rebel, desecrating the country, abusing the people, and poisoning others. In addition, his detailed administration was harsh, science and defense were mutually established, gangs were used for fraud, roads were blocked with traps, and his hands were hung.
It is a snare and a trap at every opportunity, so there are boring people in Yan and Henan, and the emperor is complaining!"
Sitting on the main seat in the center is the great Han Situ Zhao Wen who followed the Han court all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Xuchang.
"Now his adopted son He Yan is even more cunning and cruel. He actually killed the famous scholar Yuan Lang for no reason!"
"These jackals are no less ferocious than Dong Zhuo! We can no longer sit idly by and watch!"
After so many twists and turns, Zhao Wen still pointed his finger at Cao Cao.
"Now it coincides with General Yuan's crusade against Cao Cao. Cao Cao has been exposed. It's time for us to obey the emperor's order and rise up to fight against the evil thief!"
In addition to Zhao Wen, there are also many courtiers who still support the Han Dynasty.
In other words, they did not support the Han Dynasty, but had their own opinions in the process of supporting the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao, who was originally regarded as their savior, is now no different from Dong Zhuo in their eyes.
Their ideal restoration of the Han Dynasty should be for the princes to serve the emperor with all their strength, and the emperor's authority to return to the past. In this way, these ministers who are dependent on the imperial power will also regain their power.
There are also some people who are famous people from the Central Plains who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao and some aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
These people either stood on the wrong team or suffered losses in the process of Cao Cao's growth, but at this moment they all unite together to cut off the flesh of Cao Cao, who is about to fall.
After Zhao Wen spoke generously, he pulled Zhao Dao and asked in a low voice: "When you went there, there was really only He Yan, and you didn't meet any other Cao family heirs?"
Zhao Dao was also extremely depressed at this time: "No!"
"Moreover, the person who came to report to the official was Cao Zhen, Cao's adopted son. There were many people watching at that time, so I couldn't detain him for torture."
Yuan Lang, it’s just fishing bait.
This is true for both Zhao Wen and He Yan.
But the difference is that He Yan fished out Zhao Wen behind him, but Zhao Wen did not use Yuan Lang to fish out the Cao family's heirs behind He Yan.
Zhao Wen also shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
Originally, he wanted to provoke Cao's descendants into breaking the law, so that he could unite those celebrities to fight against Cao Cao.
If it were just He Yan, the effect would be greatly reduced.
"Father, what are we going to do next?"
Zhao Dao went to capture He Yan, but he actually had a little tail left.
And then Xun Yu rushed to Tingwei's prison in a hurry. Zhao Dao suspected that Xun Yu had already made a guess in his mind.
"What's the rush?"
Zhao Wen disagreed.
He is Situ!
The Three Young Masters of the Han Dynasty!
With this layer of amulet around, unless Cao Cao comes back to quarrel with him, Xun Yu will not be able to do anything to him!
"Although He Yan is Cao Cao's adopted son, he should still have some weight among Cao Cao!"
"By spreading the news of He Yan's imprisonment to the front line, we don't want to cause Cao Mengde to lose his position. As long as he is distracted during the confrontation with General Yuan, and he is defeated as soon as possible, that will be enough for us!"
"And I heard that He Yan was able to increase the output of cloth several times with some magical skills and silver skills! He also cultivated a lot of fields, but this wealth is not a small amount."
Zhao Wen was already planning to eat He Yan alive, but Zhao Dao was still a little worried: "Father, after all, He Yan's grandfather is General He Jin, and then General Yuan is old, you say..."
Zhao Wen chuckled.
"Don't worry about He Yan not dying. According to me, I won't be surprised if Yuan Shao keeps Cao Pi and the others alive in the future, but He Yan will die!"
Zhao Wen told Zhao Dao the unknown side of it: "At that time, Queen He and Beauty Wang of Emperor Ling respectively fathered King Hongnong's current emperor, but Queen He was jealous and secretly killed Beauty Wang!"
"So, He Yan and the emperor have a feud! If Cao Cao hadn't protected He Yan, he would have been cut into pieces by the emperor!"
Not to mention, He Jin was the one who tried to protect Queen He's life and Liu Bian became the emperor! He and Liu Xie even had a grudge against taking the throne!
Why would Yuan Shao spare He Yan's life just for He Jin's sake...
As long as today's emperor sits on the throne for a day, He Yan's head will be tied to his belt for a day and will not fall on his neck at all!
Zhao Dao didn't know that there was an old grudge among them, so he could only sigh that things in the court were really complicated...
However, Zhao Dao is still a little worried: "Father, if Yuan Shao also imitates Dong Zhuo after attacking Xuchang, what will Cao Cao do?"
Zhao Wen's face froze, and even his previous smile became a little stiff.
"What nonsense!"
"How can Yuan Benchu be compared to Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao? He has four generations and three princes in his family, and he has been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty for generations! A leader of scholars! Even if he is not a Xiliang barbarian like Dong Zhuo, nor an eunuch like Cao Cao, how could he commit such treason?
thing!"
"At best, he is just like Liang Ji and He Jin!"
"What's more, the emperor is smart and benevolent, and he has the demeanor of a wise king! But with the help of good ministers, he will definitely be able to help the Han Dynasty from decline and revive the Han Dynasty!"
Zhao Wen was already a little hysterical when he said these words.
Yuan Shao, who was born as a scholar, is their last hope!
If anyone drowns this hope, even his son, he will still not let him go!
"Here! Father, the child is wrong..."
Zhao Dao had no choice but to lower his head, but the sadness between his brows only increased instead of decreasing.

The people sent by Zhao Wen to spread the news returned to Xuchang in despair before they reached Guandu.
It turned out that Xun Yu had dispatched soldiers a few days ago to block all the key points leading from Yuzhou to other places, and no one was allowed to pass.
Not only that...
After Yuzhou was completely closed down, another piece of news completely exploded Yuzhou!
The government... has opened a granary!
Almost instantly, food became plentiful everywhere. Food prices, which had remained high due to the war, plummeted, almost lower than before the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
"Is Xun Yu crazy?"
"The war is over?"
Cao Cao's soldiers were still starving at the Guandu front line, and Xun Yu actually dared to open the granary... Did he think Cao Cao was starving to death quickly enough?
Sensing that something was wrong, some aristocratic families sent people to find out the news.
"It's He Yan!"
"The cloth he produces is no longer used to buy fields, but goes to Jingzhou to buy grain at a high price, and then transports it back to Yuzhou for sale at a low price!"
"That is to say, for every stone of grain they sell, they lose three bushels of grain!"
Everyone who knew the news looked at each other, obviously not knowing what He Yan was going to do with such a self-destructive move.
